Ontology-Based Self-Organization in Service-Oriented Architectures

Abstract:
In Service-Oriented Architectures services can be deployed and removed at runtime and can be arranged to business processes. Service-based applications and business processes can be reconfigured and optimized by replacing the participating services. In large environments, service processes should employ self-properties to improve manageability and flexibility. We demonstrate an approach, realized in the ADDO project, which includes ontologies and QoS properties to achieve properties like self-configuration and self-optimization within service processes.
